Nice staff on reception. Our room was clean and quiet but terribly hot and stuffy all night, even with windows open. Good location for the Eurostar which is why we stayed.

With the price, the shower water pressure, the bedding are surprisingly good! Perfect location, room is a bit small but for a short trip is enough. It’d be great if there’s a mini fridge or if we can store our food in the fridge.

Great location and the staff was wonderful. It can be a little loud at night being that close to a main road and the station. The room was very clean and it had everything we needed including a tower fan since it got really hot at times. But the room was a little bit small, you can only just move around the bed.
